Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner - urgent
Dear QLis30 Diners The problem is that I am not well versed in electronic methods of payment. I believe that PayPal will let you transfer money with a credit card, but all the information the receiver gets is an email address. So perhaps a separate email with the details may be the answer. I believe in the UK if you use internet banking you can transfer the money direct with little or no charge, using SQLUG bank account sort code and account number. I can return an email with these details. Other methods by the banks seem to incur a charge more than the value of the dinner! I would be pleased if somebody who uses these methods could advise on the best methods.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner - urgent
I have recently sent money via bank transfer to the uk twice for the cottages I used in the holidays. This was free of charge. I needed a IBAN and BIC for this.

Hi,
It's not just Firefox that has the problem, Opera (on my tablet) shows
the same problem - which is the text jumps to the bottom of the page
instead of being displayed to the right of the sidebar.
The difference is in the mark-up of the text itself:
In the original, each line of the paragraphs of the text is followed by
a break line () whereas in DJC's version the only the last line of
the paragraph has the break line tag.
This actually affects the original as well: if I reduce the width of the
window on Firefox to 798 pixels wide the text jumps to the bottom of the
screen.
A suggested "fix" is to change the ccs #mainText to include:
width:66%;
to give:
#mainText {
float:top;
display:inline-block;
border-left:2px solid #000;
padding-left:15px;
padding-bottom:20px;
width:66%;
}
which allows the window to be reduced to 758 pixels before the jump
occurs; a width of 67% jumps at 779 pixels - the problem of setting a
percentage width is that the sidebar is a fixed width (about 254 px) and
as the window is shrunk it takes a larger percentage of it.
A width of 75% jumps at 1018 px - which may be more reasonable as most
people should be able to do 1024 pixels wide. Alternatively you could
specify it as a width:
width:472px;
will make the text near enough the same as the original with similar
word breaks (511px is the same width, but the line breaks originally
inserted may have been due to a constant, as opposed to proportionally,
width font and they occur else where). Alternatively, 490px requires a
minimum 768 pixel window, 746px requires a minimum 1024 pixel window,
before the text jumps.
Also, adding:
text-align:justify;
may make the output look neater.
Hope this helps,
Robert
Thanks for the suggestions - hopefully this should now have fixed the
CSS issues - I managed to do it without specifying a percentage width...
Works here on Safari...

Re: [Ql-Users] R: SBASIC / SuperBASIC Reference Manual - Online (HTML)
Evening all,
I've had a quick look on Opera and Firefox - both on Linux, and both
pages are identical except for the DJC version which has an extra blank
line after the heading. This is at any screen size by the way.
Opera is version 12.16 for Linux while
Firefox is version 31.0 for Linux.
Looking at the source HTML, I don't see any tags - in either page.
The text appears to be a solid block of text with a pair of tags
between each "paragraph".
Having seen this line:
I wonder exactly what tool was used to build the HTML page? If it was
Word, or similar, then all bets on standard HTML are off! ;-)
I may be wrong, but surely this is not valid HTML, it's certainly not
strict HTML at the very least.
STOP PRESS - ok, who changed the pages when I was in mid rant??? It
seems that most, but not all of the pairs have now been
converted to proper tags. There are still a couple left though in
the headings at the top of the page!
Using Opera, and the latest version of the two pages, passing them
through the W3C html validator gives each page the following 4 errors:
Line 2, Column 15: there is no attribute "XMLNS:V"
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the
document type you are using does not support that attribute for this
element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"
document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the
"Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using
vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually
fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in
the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no
supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error
message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both
allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this
attribute. If you received this error when using the element to
incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.
Line 6, Column 85: NET-enabling start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES
…nk rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/QLManualStyle.css"
media="all" />
For the current document, the validator interprets strings like
according to legacy rules that break the expectations of most authors
and thus cause confusing warnings and error messages from the validator.
This interpretation is triggered by HTML 4 documents or other SGML-based
HTML documents. To avoid the messages, simply remove the "/" character
in such contexts. NB: If you expect to be interpreted as an
XML-compatible "self-closing" tag, then you need to use XHTML or HTML5.
This warning and related errors may also be caused by an unquoted
attribute value containing one or more "/". Example: href=http://w3c.org>W3C. In such cases, the solution is to put
quotation marks around the value.
Line 6, Column 86: character data is not allowed here
…nk rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/QLManualStyle.css"
media="all" />
You have used character data somewhere it is not permitted to appear.
Mistakes that can cause this error include:
putting text directly in the body of the document without wrapping it in
a container element (such as a aragraph), or
forgetting to quote an attribute value (where characters such as "%" and
"/" are common, but cannot appear without surrounding quotes), or
using XHTML-style self-closing tags (such as ) in HTML 4.01
or earlier. To fix, remove the extra slash ('/') character. For more
information about the reasons for this, see Empty elements in SGML,
HTML, XML, and XHTML.

in such contexts. NB: If you expect to be interpreted as an
XML-compatible "self-closing" tag, then you need to use XHTML or HTML5.
This warning and related errors may also be caused by an unquoted
attribute value containing one or more "/". Example: href=http://w3c.org>W3C. In such cases, the solution is to put
quotation marks around the value.
... and the following 2 warnings:
Line 22, Column 12: document type does not allow element "HR" here;
assuming missing "LI" start-tag
Line 50, Column 12: document type does not allow element "HR" here;
assuming missing "LI" start-tag
